Apple sues Samsung for making their phones equally as intuitive as their own

Companies have patent-wars all the time. They'll take someone's product and go, "OH MY GOSH they arranged their icons in vaguely the same way" or "WHAT MULTI-TOUCH I own the patent for that!" and then they'll sue the living guts out of them.

It's a business thing.

Long story short, Apple sued Samsung some time ago for infringing upon Apple-held patents for things like "pinch and zoom" and "double-tap to zoom" features on smartphones. And they won. In fact, they won hands-down.

I hope you're not planning on designing sensible UI anytime soon because you'll probably be sued for it.
